Extract:

"Miss Hall, I was brought here under the authority of Thorne. We knew that the Leaders were planning this and have been doing so for a while. There are a group of us, including Thorne, from different Bases that have been trying to come up with a way to stop them and I've been sent to follow through with our only logical method." Granger stares me in the face.

"You need me. I'm the only one that has all of the information on the country's military movements and plans. Knowing the Leaders, you expect they are too cocky to think some little girl would turn on them." I don't say it like a question because I'm stating what I've figured out.

"We're going to smuggle you out of the country and across the northern border. Wilson thinks we're just here to hide you away because, if you're captured in an invasion, everything would be compromised. All we need to know is if you're in or out?" Marcus' question is punctuated with the click of Granger's gun. There are only two possible outcomes to this situation: commit treason or die.
